  After a résumé of basic definitions this work aims at recommending to the CULT committee how, in order to contribute to sustainable development, cultural heritage and education should be integrated into an inclusive, horizontal and lifelong learning approach. It is highly recommended having cultural heritage at the very core of education and not as a stopgap and seeing education more deeply rooted in cultural heritage through adequate and efficient mutual long-term partnership policies.

  Food production and gastronomy in Europe are based on the combination of knowledge, skills, practices and traditions relating to fisheries, livestock and crop farming and to methods of conserving, processing, cooking, sharing and eating food. In the European Union there is a recognition of the intangible cultural heritage which is integral to the rich array of food production, tightly bound up with the unique farming practices in different European regions and with their local products and acknowledges the value of the raw materials it uses, their quality and the need for excellence at all stages in the processing of foodstuffs, a concept which incorporates respect for animals and nature. Gastronomy and food production are a source of both cultural and economic wealth for the regions which make up the EU. The development of global export markets is enabling also non-EU citizens to benefit and share the EU’s rich cultural food heritage. Enjoy! It’s from Europe.

  2018 is the European Year of Cultural Heritage, officially launched at the European Culture Forum on 7 December 2017 in Milan, Italy. Cultural heritage shapes our everyday lives. It surrounds us in Europe's towns and cities, natural landscapes and archaeological sites. It is not only found in literature, art and objects, but also in the crafts we learn from our ancestors, the stories we tell our children, the food we enjoy and the films we watch and recognize ourselves in. Cultural heritage binds Europe together through our common history and values. It also represents the richness and diversity of our cultural traditions. Our shared cultural heritage is to be understood, cherished and celebrated. Yet cultural heritage is not only a legacy from the past. It also helps us forge the way ahead and design our future. 2018 sees an unparalleled series of initiatives and events across Europe to get people closer to and more involved with their cultural heritage, to encourage the sharing and appreciation of Europe's rich heritage and to reinforce a sense of belonging to a common European space. The European Year of Cultural Heritage belongs to us all!

They have allowed thousands of institutions and associations working on cultural heritage – nature reserves, museums or historic buildings – to develop their educational programmes.
